La Brujita Tapita
Grupo Encanto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tenía puertas,
Ni ventana, ni balcón.
La brujita Tapita
Vivía en un tapón
Con una gran escoba
Y un hermoso escobillón.
Hacia brujerías
Abra cadabra patas de cabra
Abra cadabra patas de cabra,
Push, pupush, pupush, pupush.
Un día la brujita
Quiso desaparecer
Mirándose al espejo dijo 1 2 y 3
Cuando abrió los ojos no se vió
¿Sabeis por qué?
Porque la distraída se miraba en la pared.
La brujitaaaa.
Hacia brujerías
Abra cadabra patas de cabra
Abra cadabra patas de cabra,
Push, pupush, pupush, pupush.
The song "La Brujita Tapita" by Grupo Encanto is about a little witch named Tapita who lives in a cork. She has no doors, windows, or balconies in her tiny house, but she does have a big broom and a beautiful brush. The song speaks to Tapita's life as a witch, doing magic spells with a fun incantation of "Abra cadabra patas de cabra" (open sesame, goat legs), before disappearing into thin air. However, Tapita once tried to make herself disappear by counting to three while looking in the mirror, but she ended up looking at the wrong surface, as she got distracted and looked at the wall instead.
The song presents a playful and lighthearted take on the witchcraft theme, portraying Tapita as a comically scatterbrained character who is still an expert at magic spells. Interestingly, the lyrics also allude to the old belief that witches could fly on broomsticks, which is a popular stereotype in storytelling about witches.
